Not a chance. When one hears that a remake of a film that one considers the worst film that they have ever seen is much, much worse, it does not exactly make one want to watch it, if you know what I mean.Sparrow said:
Kung Pow: Enter the First was far and away the most awful movie I've ever seen. It's acceptable when a joke isn't funny, since comedy is often a volume business. But it's bad when an unfunny joke goes on for way too long (like the 'Pussies, Dicks, and Assholes' speech from Team America), but it's absolutely inexcusable when that joke gets repeated (see above). Kung Pow was nothing but that.
I love comedy and feel that I have a strong outsiders perspective (meaning that I'm not a comic myself, although I've been on stage). Conan O'Brien is known for doing many jokes that are funny, but you don't know why (The masturbating bear is an example). Kung Pow mostly consisted of jokes that not only weren't funny, but you didn't understand why they were SUPPOSED to be funny. Like when Master Pain changes his name to Betty. It's a sudden joke that they don't go into later. The mere act of changing the male antagonists' name to a female one isn't funny without any sort of context. It would be like someone from Monty Python sitting in the middle of the stage wearing a dress. I don't mean with some underlying context, I mean just sitting there, no script, no movement, no outside activity.
Kung Pow is my go-to movie when anyone asks what the worst movie I've ever seen is.
PS. Cats and Dogs was crap, too. I was suckered by the trailer when I saw the dog say 'Son of my mom!' I thought that was a hilarious line that allowed for adult humour in a kids movie (kind of like Animaniacs doing an episode based on 'Apocalypse Now'). But it was a tease, it was the only funny line in the whole movie (which, by itself, puts it over Kung Pow). And the worst sin of all is that it completely wasted the voice-over talents of Jon Lovitz. Lovitz was hilarious in The Critic and has an outstanding singing voice. And they did absolutely nothing with him. Sean Hayes wasn't given that much to do either.
PPS. A lot of people are listing movies that are so bad, they're funny. Movies like Riki-Oh and Troll 2. My two movies are genuinely terribly and unfunny in any way. Also, Fight Club and Superbad? Come on, now....

Hard to pick out the worst one I've seen, there are some (usually sequels of already incredibly poor films) that just aren't worth mentioning because it would be like kicking the almost fully decomposed corpse of a person everybody agreed was a dick when they were alive.
So I'm going to say the worst films (I can think of) that I PAID to watch.
Which would be...
Eragon...? Or maybe Arthur. I've definitely seen a lot worse, but I just remember being especially enraged by having to pay to watch those two heaps of turd.

Actually now that I think about it I'm not sure I would call Riki-Oh bad...it's completely ridiculous and over-the-top and for those reasons I actually very much enjoyed the film. I guess it's on that list because there are so many dialogue and plot choices that are completely absurd.
The Last Airbender was awful. I actually rather liked the show, but the movie was horrible. It wasn't even so bad it was funny.
My top 2 least favorites are probably The Last Airbender and John Steinbeck's The Pearl.
I'm a huge fan of the animated tv series, and TLA took everything good about the series and somehow made it terrible, and The Pearl was just a great book adapted into an agonizing film.

The Expendables, it was so.....disposable. I mean one of the worst, WORST, action movies I have ever seen.
The Happening and Transformers 2. People can defend the first as much as they like based on how fun it is to apparantly riff on but I just found it so stupid that it began to irritate me. Crappy acting didn't help. I guess the same goes for the latter but plus an extra hour or more of torture.
I'd like to nominate Crash as well. Critics might have loved it but you can sum it up as, 'everyone's a racist except for this one guy who used to be in a gang (I think, I don't remember it that well) ARE WE CHALLENGING YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS AUDIENCE?!' Bleeargh, pile of wank.
